Don't be stupid. There are a thousand reasons to keep using Windows. I do
it because my software has to run on Windows (but I don't dual boot
anymore). My mother does it because she needs support, and I'm 2500 km
away. My in-laws do it because mother-in-law won't let father-in-law
install Linux - and a Live CD with a 5 minute + boot time doesn't cut it.
There has been far too much whining about how users can't boot or run
XP after an install to dual boot.
Additionally, with the low cost of PC's these day, and with the advent
of apps like VMWare and V-Box, there isn't a reason to dual boot.
To you that are raggin about not booting XP - STAY with XP.
... Don't bother to argue this point with me. It's my opinion. Yours
certainly does not matter to me nor will it convince me otherwise.
Yeah, well you've certainly shown you have no purpose being on this list.
